Mooney Tunes 9 - Ticket Launch!

The ninth concert in our hugely popular series of Mooney Tunes will be a variety Christmas concert with various singers and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. Listeners requests will be read out and their songs will be played. There will be love songs, songs you will sing along to, beautiful classical music and lots of Christmassy tunes to get you in the festive mood a week before Christmas!

The Mooney Tunes concerts have been extremely successful, and tickets often sell-out within hours of going on sale. So when do ticket sales begin for Mooney Tunes 9? Well, today as it happens - at 3pm to be exact! Mooney reporter Katriona McFadden reports live from the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, where she meets Theatre Manager Stephen Falloon, and some of you buying your tickets from the Box Office!

The benefit of buying the tickets in person at the theatre box office is that there is no service charge to pay. Tickets are priced from €14.50 and go up to €20, €28, €34 and €39.50, depending on where you are sitting.

Tickets are also on sale online from Ticketmaster.ie, Ticketmaster outlets and from the Ticketmaster phonelines:

Tickets bought from Ticketmaster.ie online or on the phone are subject to a 12.5% service charge so, for example, that would make the €14.50 ticket, the cheapest ticket, €16.60. If you buy your tickets in person from a Ticketmaster outlet there will be a €2.50 flat fee service charge, and there is no service charge whatsoever if you buy them in person at the box office here at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre.

But whichever way you choose to get your tickets for Mooney Tunes 9, we suggest that you do it as soon as possible after 3pm, when they go on sale! It's the perfect pre-Christmas concert - but tickets will go early, so get yours as soon as you can to avoid disappointment!

Captain Phillips & Seasickness

Cinemagoers throughout Ireland have reported feeling a bit seasick whilst watching Tom Hanks' latest movie, Captain Phillips. The film tells the story of merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean during the Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.

But can merely watching a movie prompt sickness? Meabh Mooney talks to Ellen Roche, who was sick whilst watching the film, and cinema manager Stephanie Tuite, and Derek is joined in studio by Dr. Kate Coleman, who is an eye surgeon at the Blackrock Clinic and founder of the Right To Sight charity, who talks about how what we watch can have an effect on our sense of balance and the state of our stomachs!
